Handbook on Transport and Development

Researchers in transportation, urban planning, geography and related fields focus on the debate between dispersed cities that require more highway investment and compact city centers that require public transport, walking, and cycling improvements. They cover urban structure and travel, transport and spatial impacts, and wider dimensions in transport and development. Among the topics are changes over time in new household location and the commute to work, an interpretive review of methods for estimating the economic impact of transportation improvements, assessing the wider impacts of the Jubilee Line extension in East London, the car in the neighborhood: residential design and social outcomes in southern Germany, investigating urban oil vulnerability, and the value of transition management for sustainable transport.
